Eco-Friendly Recyclable PET Strapping 13mm-16mm for Carton Sealing and Bundling

Using a strapping band (PET, PP, or steel) involves securing it around a load to keep it tightly bound during storage or transportation. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Tools Needed:

• Strapping band (PET, PP, or steel)
• Tensioning tool (manual or pneumatic)
• Sealing tool (buckle, friction weld, or crimping tool)
• Edge protectors (for fragile loads)

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Choose the Right Strapping

• PET Strapping – Best for heavy loads, high tension, and outdoor use.
• PP Strapping – Lighter loads, cost-effective, moderate tension.
• Steel Strapping – Extremely heavy loads, but prone to rust.

2. Measure & Cut the Band

• Wrap the strapping around the load to determine the length needed.
• Leave extra length for sealing (about 6–12 inches).

3. Position the Strapping

• Place the band around the load (horizontally, vertically, or in a cross pattern).
• Use edge protectors if the load has sharp edges to prevent cuts.

4. Tension the Band

• Insert the strapping end into the tensioning tool.
• Pull tightly to secure the load (avoid over-tensioning PET/PP to prevent breakage).
• For steel strapping, use a ratchet tensioner.

5. Seal the Strapping

• For PET/PP Strapping:
  • Friction Welding: Use a heat sealer to melt and fuse the ends.
  • Metal Seals: Place a seal over the overlapping ends and crimp with a tool.
• For Steel Strapping:
  • Use a crimping tool to secure a metal seal.

6. Inspect & Test

• Ensure the band is tight and secure.
• Check for any weak spots or loose ends.

Tips for Effective Strapping:

✔ Use multiple bands for heavy or unstable loads.
✔ Avoid sharp bends—they weaken the strapping.
✔ Store strapping in a dry place to prevent damage (especially for PP).
✔ Automated machines are best for high-volume strapping in industries.
